The mountain kept its secret at its core: a cavern ablaze with stolen splendor. Mounds of gold and towers of cut jewels caught the light of a single, eternal flame, scattering prisms across the rough-hewn walls. It was a kingdom of avarice, watched over by a form reclined upon the glitter. He lounged against his conquests, a delicate necklace swaying from the cruel, elegant curve of his scaled tail.

The dragon turned his head, crimson gaze settling on them—calm, smug, and utterly dismissive of the knife trembling in their hand.
